SoftWave® Therapy is an innovative, non-surgical treatment that uses shockwave technology to support the body’s natural healing process and deliver lasting pain relief. By emitting acoustic (sound) waves, this advanced therapy stimulates tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and enhances circulation — all without the use of drugs or invasive procedures. Ideal for individuals dealing with joint pain, muscle soreness, or stubborn injuries, SoftWave® Therapy offers an effective, drug-free path to recovery. At Heartland Chiropractic + Wellness Center, we’re proud to provide this cutting-edge treatment to help our patients — whether athletes, those with chronic pain, or anyone in between — heal faster and feel their best.
How does SoftWave® Therapy Work?
ShockWave® Therapy uses the energy of sound waves to activate your body’s innate healing mechanisms. During treatment, a specialized device delivers acoustic waves to the targeted area, creating microtrauma that encourages increased blood flow and the release of growth factors. This process jump-starts tissue regeneration, reduces inflammation, and breaks down scar tissue. The result? Your body can repair itself more effectively.
While the name may be slightly unsettling, the treatment is painless for most patients, with many experiencing significant improvement after just a few sessions. It’s a simple, science-backed way to support long-term healing and recovery.
